We performed a comparison between Planview Portfolios and Zoho Projects based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use time reporting. We convert time reporting into financial costs and do contractor and capacity planning for our resources. We track our work. So, that's the module we use extensively. As a matter of fact, we have upwards of 300 open projects at this given moment. It is pretty close to 300 open activities that are working."
"The portfolio and technology management are well built."
"The portfolio management gives you a view of all the projects as well as all the information about the total amount of effort, time, and cost being spent on the projects. It gives the organization how much money and effort should be spent towards projects so they can budget and do better capacity planning in the next fiscal year. It gives them visibility into their resources and if they have capacity."
"It has helped improve governance, mostly. People want to know where their money's going. Projects sponsors need to know what we're spending money on and what our burn rate is. Planview can give that to you straightaway."
"Our transparency is increasing a lot. It is helping us to get people together. There are no dark rooms anymore. In some areas or concepts, we want to add more light to every single concept. That's the big impact that the tool is having. It allows conversations between people."
"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool."
"The overall interface is very easy to use. It puts together strategy and execution across all your investments."
"Planview Management integrates seamlessly with other tools and systems used within the organization, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and collaboration platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects is all integrated into one. We don't have to start using multiple tools, such as Projects, CRM, Marketing, Automation, Finance, and setting up Meetings. It's all in one solution. I don't have to go to multiple different platforms to have all the features I need."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"We were able to track each department's work and what they were doing inside the actual department. Gantt charts are useful to track departmental progress and operation, or we are that item stuff."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"We can customize the tool."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"The product is very easy to understand."
"I would like to be able to copy and paste from Excel into work and assignments along with roles and hours, as opposed to having to type it out one by one."
"I would like a bit more flexibility, as far as the configuration, and have additional capabilities to configure, making it more flexible for our use."
"I think some of the administrative aspects of it could be a little easier, especially when it comes to designing reports. The reporting coming out of it could be a little bit better."
"It could do with a quicker response time for some reports or portfolios."
"One of the reasons why we've upgraded so many times is because of performance standards. We've just run into issues where we've had performance problems. Maybe they are not upgrading, but they're adding more horsepower. Then, we do go upgrade and lose that horsepower, which is frustrating from my perspective as an admin to lose that horsepower. Hopefully, that'll change."
"While Planview Management provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities, further enhancements could include more advanced data visualization options, predictive analytics features, and customizable dashboards to provide deeper insights into project performance and trends."
"The outcome management and work resource management in terms of teams needs improvement. Team handling, how team requirements are generated, and how the resource managers can work with teams needs to be improved."
"The reporting capability and access to the fields for our system administrators to have access to the data without having to pay Enterprise One to get the data that's needed to create custom reports for management to create reports need improvement."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"The solution should improve on integration and customization."
"The telephone support provided by the support team should become better."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
